Andy Furillo in the Sacramento Bee reports that Governor Schwarzenegger's fundraising consultant ALSO represents a developer with pressing business before the state--who just happens to be co-hosting a major fundraising reception for Schwarzenegger tomorrow. But just because it looks like corruption...and smells like corruption...well, the fundraiser assures us not to worry:
"I run a public relations firm that has seven employees and a number of clients," Wilson said Tuesday. "We do not lobby for those clients. We are very explicit when we talk to a client or potential client that if they're hiring us to influence the administration, they're hiring the wrong organization and they should hire someone else."
It's all just coincidence.
